Recipe

This platter blends the richness of sesame paste, the crispiness of fried garlic, the heat of chili oil, and the crunch of peanuts—a creative collision of Eastern and Western flavors. Whether paired with pita bread or rice crackers, every bite offers a complex sweet, spicy, salty, and savory experience. Your Geedel manual food chopper is the perfect tool to efficiently prepare all the essential toppings, from crispy garlic chips to crushed peanuts.

Ingredients:  

For the Base:

½ cup tahini  

2 tablespoons soy sauce  

1 tablespoon rice vinegar  

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup  

2–3 tablespoons warm water  

For the Toppings:  

4 garlic cloves, chopped  

2 tablespoons cooking oil  

2 tablespoons chili oil  

¼ cup roasted peanuts  

2 green onions  

For Serving:  

Pita bread, rice crackers, cucumber sticks  

Instructions:

1. Make crispy fried garlic:

   Chop the garlic into chunks. Using the Geedel food chopper with the chopping blade, pulse the garlic into fine pieces. In a small pan, heat the cooking oil over low heat and fry the minced garlic until golden and crispy. Immediately remove and drain on paper towels. (This is the flavor key!)

2. Prepare other toppings:  

   Empty the container, add the roasted peanuts, and pulse a few times into coarse pieces for texture. Cut the green onions into sections, place in the container, and quickly chop into fine slices.

3. Blend the smooth base:  

   Switch to the mixing paddle. Place tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and warm water in the container. Close the lid and turn the handle steadily until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and yogurt-like in consistency.

4. Assemble the platter:  

   Spread the tahini base on a plate or wooden board. Drizzle with chili oil, then sprinkle with the crispy fried garlic, crushed peanuts, and fresh green onions. Serve with pita bread and rice crackers on the side.

Summary:

The layers of flavor in this creative platter depend on the texture of the toppings. The Geedel vegetable chopper quickly makes crispy garlic chips and crushed peanuts, while its mixing function effortlessly emulsifies the smooth sauce base—allowing you to easily create this impressive fusion-style snack.
